Characters in this story are stranded or marooned, as in they are left somewhere without the means of transportation to leave with little hope of rescue or escape.

For example, they could be shipwrecked and stuck on a deserted island, forgotten on an uninhabited planet, caught in a mountain during a snowstorm, or deliberately abandoned in a desert.

Prime difference between this tag and Confinement is that whereas stranded is primarily about survival and often waiting for rescue, confinement is about escape or reaching a goal first.
